I don't have the time or the energy to add all of the pictures tonight. I will be working on that in the next couple of days. But needless to say we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were gone for a long time and it was a much needed break from routine. By the end we were all a little cranky, tired, and happy, but ready to go home.
Both of the boys are in bed, the house is in shambles and we just got done looking through all of our trip pictures. And I realized something. This trip was good for us. It rejuvenated us. My parents took great care of us. And Aid had the time of his life playing with his cousins from my side. They were quite the little crew almost immediately.
But what we also realized is how happy we are to be home. Just us, with our own little routines. And at the end of the day it doesn't matter if we are in Minnesota or if we make our way back to Oregon. Our home will be wherever our family is.
And that's a beautiful realization.
Welcome home! We missed you and are glad to finally be able to get back into our routine. I think Grant grew up since we last saw him.

We took a much shorter vacation, but ended up feeling the same way. Home is now where my boys and my hubby are. I love my family and always will, but we are going to forge our own way in this world!!
ReplyDeletePS it was so good to see you guys! I truly do miss you both :)
